FIRST NATIONAL CREDIT GOLD CARD SCAM
I RECEIVED A CERTIFICATE BACK IN JANUARY, BUT DIDN'T RESPOND TO IT RIGHT AWAY. I DID, AT THAT TIME, GET TO TALK TO A LIVE PERSON ABOUT THE CERTIFICATE AND ALL THAT IT ENTAILED. I WENT AHEAD AND MAILED MY CHECK FOR RUSH PROCESSING AND I GUESS I'D FORGOTTEN ABOUT IT.
THEY CASHED MY CHECK, PROBABLY AS SOON AS IT WAS RECEIVED, BUT I STILL HAVE NO CARD! I RECENTLY STARTED WONDERING WHAT WAS TAKING SO LONG IN RECEIVING IT AND DECIDED TO GIVE THEM A CALL. SINCE I DIDN'T HAVE THE NUMBER WRITTEN DOWN, I LOOKED IT UP AT SWITCHBOARD.COM AND CALLED.
LIKE THE OTHERS WHO HAVE COMPLAINED, I ALSO, GOT A RECORDING STATING THAT CALL VOLUME WAS KEEPING THEM FROM ANSWERING THE PHONES. RUSH PROCESSING IS SUPPOSED TO YIELD A CARD IN ABOUT 14 BUSINESS DAYS. WELL, IT'S BEEN LONGER THAN THAT AND I DO NOT HAVE A CARD, BUT THEY HAVE MY MONEY.
I MUST SAY THAT I WILL BE AWFUL CAREFUL ABOUT THESE KINDS OF OFFERS IN THE NEAR FUTURE. IT'S A D--- SHAME THAT THERE IS ALWAYS SOMEONE OUT THERE GETTING RICH OFF OF THOSE OF US WHO CAN BARELY MAKE ENDS MEET. AT THIS POINT I, TOO, FEEL THAT I HAVE BEEN SCAMMED.
